About this Song
Music/Other, a genre classification that exists to hold creative works that defy the rigid, often oversimplified genre boxes that dominate mainstream music discourse, carries Terlalu Tinggi, the sound from Indonesian artist Juicy Luicy. What might read to some as a vague, throwaway category is actually a deliberate framework that centers works that refuse to be slotted into pre-existing, widely recognized genre silos, honoring the right of creators to build art that exists on their own terms, rather than aligning with the expectations of archivists, curators, or audiences who seek to sort every piece of music into a neat, easily digestible label. For creators working outside of the most mainstream, commercially successful strands of global music, this classification is more than a logistical tool; it is a space that celebrates uncategorizability as a strength, rather than a flaw that needs to be fixed to make a work more marketable or sortable.
